FOR AN ALUMINUM PROCESSING FACILITY WHEREAS, Danny's Alum/nm Processing, Inc., hereinafter referred to as "Permittee", has a Conditional Use Permit (the "Permit") to recycle and process aluminum and disassemble engines and transmissions on the property generally known as 14050 Basalt Street N.W. and legally described as follows: Lot 1, Block 4, Gateway North Industrial Park Plat #2, Anoka County, Minnesota. (the "Subject Property.") NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RAMSEY, ANOKA COUNTY, STATE OF MINNESOTA, as follows: That the Permittee received a Permit from the City on April 25, 1989 for an aluminum processing facility (the "Facility" ). That the Permit was amended by the Ramsey City Council on November 13, 1990, to allow for the addition of a second melt furnace to the Facility. That the Permit was amended by the Ramsey City Council on March 9, 1993 to allow for the disassembly of engines and transmission at the Facility. That in accordance with Section 9.03.04 (Conditional Use Permits) of the Ramsey City Code, the City sent a letter to Mr. Daniel Karst, owner of Danny's Aluminum Processing, Inc. , allocating thirty (30) days to rectify the six (6) alleged Permit violations, as identified in the May 21, 2001 letter, herein incorporated by reference and attached-hereto. That there continues to be outside storage activity on Lots 2, 3 and 4 of Block 4, Gateway North Industrial Park Plat #2 and the Permit applies to Lot 1 only. That the Facility fronts on Basalt Street N.W. and Condition #24 of the Permit requires that the Permittee screen the aluminum processing facility from any public street and that screening is to achieve 90% opacity. Portions of the Subject Property fronting on Basalt Street have no screening and the screening which is in place is considerably less than 90% opacity requirement. That there continues to be outside storage of debris or materials not used in the aluminum processing operation and inoperable vehicles, which is in conflict with Item #13 of the Permit. That the City has not been provided with a current copy of a Water Quality Permit to verify compliance with Item #23 of the Permit. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
